LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County prosecutors have filed charges against two men suspected of kicking the head of another motorist in a videotaped road rage incident on a freeway.

The District Attorney's Office said Monday that 21-year-old David Mendez and 27-year-old Edras A. Ramirez are each charged with assault with a deadly weapon - their feet - and assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury.

Prosecutors say the assault on driver Jerry Patterson occurred June 12 after they stopped their cars on Interstate 5.

A video recorded by another motorist showed the men fighting and Patterson being thrown to the pavement and then kicked in the head.

Mendez and Ramirez surrendered to authorities on June 20 after the video went viral on the Internet. Arraignment is set for July 13.

Meanwhile, Patterson, 49, also has been arrested for a separate confrontation involving a traffic accident in Long Beach.

He stands accused of being drunk on the night of May 25, when he allegedly hit a vehicle near Corona Avenue and The Toledo, then fled the scene.

A witness who chased after him and confronted him a few blocks away said Patterson assaulted him. Long Beach police arrested Patterson that night on a charge of misdemeanor DUI, hit-and-run and battery. He was released on $25,000 bail the following day and was ordered to appear in court on Thursday, but failed to show, police said.

A warrant was issued by the court Thursday, and California Highway Patrol officers arrested Patterson just moments after he gave one of many media interviews about the road rage incident on the 5 Freeway.

Patterson posted $50,000 bond on that case Sunday. He is scheduled to appear for arraignment at the Long Beach Superior Court on July 6.
